A structure such a person

Be Resistant

Be Resilient

Resilience is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties; toughness

Is important that a person can be able to hold problems and no break with it but has to hold on and keep going on in ther job.

Has to be Malleable

A material who is able to be hammered or pressed into shape without breaking or cracking.

A beam need to be able to change their shape to make a essential part of any system of structure.

A beam can't pass their breaking point but it has to hold on, until the strain has happened, recover their original shape to keep working on a structure.

Any one has to suffer problems and circumstances, but each one have to hold on without break, because had people that depends of them.

A beam needs to resist even more than a person, beacuse the beam have life above it, and their lives depends of the resistance of the beam

Work Together

A beam, a column, a Foundation, each one of them has to transmit the forces that each one is holding on, to another element that can help it to carry their strains

A person needs someone else who help them to carry their problems, and help to find a way to figure out a complex situation.

not harmed or affected by something

Material capable of being altered or controlled by outside forces or influences

A malleable substance is easily changed into a new shape:

the ability of a substance to return to its usual shape after being bent, stretched, or pressed:

one that resists
